Summary
Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast. Today’s episode dives deep into the world of wealth management with someone whose career is emblematic of the intersection of private markets and private wealth. We sat down with Larry Restieri , the CEO of Hightower . Larry is the CEO and a member of the Board of Directors at Hightower, a national wealth management firm that empowers financial advisors to deliver sophisticated investment and financial services to clients. Larry joined the firm in June 2025 from Goldman Sachs, where he was a Partner. Larry served as the CEO of Goldman’s AYCO business, which specializes in workplace financial planning and private wealth advisory services. He held a variety of leadership roles at Goldman across its wealth and asset management divisions, including heading up the Alternative Capital Markets business. Larry and I had a fascinating conversation about the continuing convergence of private markets and private wealth from someone who was at the forefront of this industry transformation. We covered: The evolution of private markets within the wealth channel. Lessons learned from Larry’s time building Goldman’s Alternative Capital Markets business and the AYCO business. The path to building Hightower into a $1T RIA. The build-out of Hightower’s Signature Wealth brand. What does the continued buildout of private equity-backed platforms mean for the evolution of wealth management? What drives financial advisors? The benefits of the independent RIA model. How and why wealth clients should be thinking about private markets. Thanks, Larry, for sharing your wisdom, expertise, and passion at the intersection of private markets and private wealth.
